Arizona Supreme Court Sends Fake Elector Case Back to Grand Jury, Delaying Prosecution
The Arizona Supreme Court has denied an appeal by Attorney General Kris Mayes to avoid sending a case involving fake electors back to a grand jury. This case, which began in April 2024, involves 18 Republicans charged with forgery, fraud, and conspiracy in an attempt to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory in Arizona. The court's decision follows a successful argument by defense attorneys that the original grand jury was not shown relevant legal provisions regarding the certification of presidential contests. This ruling is a setback for Mayes, who has faced delays in prosecuting the case, which has been stalled for over a year. The attorney general's office plans to present the case again to a grand jury, despite similar cases being dismissed in other states.
